Caribbean Airlines is welcoming the offers of 4% increases in salaries for pilots for two bargaining periods.

Finance Minister Colm Imbert had revealed that increases had been authorized to cover the period September 2015 to August 2020 and September 2020 to August 2023.

The airline says this followed recommendations by the T&T Airline Pilots Association, aimed at settling ongoing salary negotiations.

Caribbean Airlines says it is optimistic that a satisfactory conclusion can be reached in the dispute.
